Abstract
Petrolatum based compositions (i.e., composition in which the emollient petrolatum comprises greater than or equal to 50% of the composition) are desirable because of the excellent moisturization properties provided by petrolatum. However, it has sensory negatives perceived by consumers. Specifically, because of the oily/greasy and "tacky" (i.e., slightly adhesive or gummy to touch) feel, petrolatum has certain limits to the scope of application. We have found a way to overcome this problem using a copolymer which furthermore avoids the undesirable use of additional oil. A composition is therefore provided comprising: i) 50% to 99.95 % by weight petrolatum; ii) greater than 0.05% by weight of a copolymer bearing greater than 70% long chain alkyl. said composition having an enthalpy of between 30 and 65, preferably 40 and 60, even more preferably 45 and 55 J/g, the petrolatum number average crystal size being less than 10 µm, preferably less than 5 µm, more preferably less than 1 µm.
Description
Petrolatum Composition and Process For Its Manufacture The present invention relates to a petrolatum composition and a process for its manufacture. It also relates to a cosmetic composition comprising said petrolatum composition.
Background Petrolatum based compositions (i.e., composition in which the emollient petrolatum comprises greater than or equal to 50% of the composition) are desirable because of the excellent moisturization properties provided by petrolatum. However, it has sensory negatives perceived by consumers.
Specifically, because of the oily/greasy and "tacky" (i.e., slightly adhesive or gummy to touch) feel, petrolatum has certain limits to the scope of application.
We have found a way to overcome this problem using a copolymer which furthermore avoids the undesirable use of additional oil.
Tests and definitions DSC measurements were performed using Q1000 (TA Instruments, New Castle, DE) with scanning rate 5 deg/min. The melting enthalpy for the samples approximately 8 mg by weight was obtained in the temperature range -40 to 80 degC.
Differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) is a widely used technique which was introduced in 1960s. The basic principle underlying this technique is that, when the sample undergoes a physical transformation such as phase transition, more or less heat will need to flow to it than the reference to maintain both at the same temperature. It can be used to measure a number of characteristic properties of a sample such as fusion and crystallization. The result of a DSC experiment is a curve of heat flux versus temperature or versus time. There are two different conventions: exothermic reactions in the sample shown with a positive or negative peak, depending on the kind of technology used in the experiment. This curve can be used to calculate enthalpies of transition. This is done by integrating the peak corresponding to a given transition.
In other words the energy of the transition delta H is the area under the thermogram which is limited by the base line.
Number average longest crystal dimension Petrolatum crystals (also called crystallites) are elongated, the longest dimension is measured using microscopy.
Polarized light microscopy was performed using microscope Nikon Eclipse E 600 equipped with Linkam heating/cooling cell; 50x Plan objective was used to get micrographs.
Petrolatum Petrolatum is a flammable, semi-solid mixture of hydrocarbons, obtained from petroleum, and having a melting point ranging from a little below to a few degrees above 100 F (37 C). It is colourless or pale yellow (when not highly distilled), translucent and devoid of taste and smell when pure. It is insoluble in water.
One source of petrolatum, for example, is Petrolatum Snow White from Penreco.
In general, petrolatum (either the less structured petroleum jelly having lower elastic shear modulus G', or the more structured PJ Snow White, or PJ yellow) is structured due to the presence of n-alkanes (paraffins) with the fraction of paraffins depending on the distillation process and source of crude oil.
Structuring is defined by the modulus and yield stress of the component. Elastic shear modulus, measured at 30 C, frequency 1 rad/s and strain amplitude of 0.1 %, is G' = 2000-3000 Pa for petroleum jelly Snow White, for example, and G' = 200-300 for the less structured petroleum jelly liquid.

Silicone oil Silicone oil can improve the sensory aesthetics (oiliness; tackiness) of petrolatum-based compositions. A typical silicone oil is polydimethyl siloxane where two methyl groups attach to the silicon atom to form (H3C)3SiO(CH3)21-1Si(CH3)3 where n defines the length of the chain (n is typically >4). The upper limit of n is defined by the desirable viscosity of the silicone oil and may be 4 to 850, preferably 8 to 400.
Phenyl groups may be attached instead of methyl and would form, for example, phenyltris(trimethylsiloxy)silane (one phenyl group), tetraphenyl-dimethyldisiloxane (4 phenyl groups), trimethyl pentaphenyltrisiloxane (5 phenyl groups). Alkyl groups generally, for example, or a combination of phenyl and other alkyl groups may be grafted to the silicone backbone.
Examples of silicone oils which are sold as commercial products include DC-70e, DC 556 and PH-1555 HRI cosmetic grade silicone fluids sold by Dow Corning.
Preferred oils include DC704 or DC556.
Preferably the cosmetic composition according to the invention contains less than 10 % silicone oil.
In another preferred embodiment, the silicone oil/petrolatum ratio of the cosmetic composition is less than 10 %, preferably less than 5 %.
Fatty acids Fatty acids according to the invention are C12 to C18 acids wherein ratios of larger chain to C12 fatty acid are noted as below:
Cu:Cu ratio (e.g., myristate to lauric): 1.18:1 to 2.0:1 C16:C12 ratio (e.g., palmitic to lauric): 1.8:1 to 2.5:1 Cis:Cu ratio (e.g., stearic to lauric): 1.5:1 to 2.3:1.

Cosmetic compositions The petrolatum composition according to the invention may be formulated into aqueous or anhydrous cosmetic compositions (e.g., body or facial care compositions) containing the petrolatum compositions (hereinafter, "PC"), e.g., as part of the hydrophobic or fatty phase.
For example, most cosmetic preparations contain, at varying levels of concentration, a hydrophobic or fatty phase comprising a mixture of oil, a fat and/or wax. This is true, for example, for oil-in-water or water-in-oil emulsions, gels, oils for face and body care, milks and make-up products such as rouge or lipstick.
The PC of the present invention may represent 1 to 80 %, for example, of the total weight of the cosmetic composition. In the case of oil-in-water emulsion or body care compositions, PC will more typically represent 1 to 30 %, preferably 2 to %, more preferably 2 to 10 % by weight of the cosmetic composition. Typically, water will represent 70 to 99 % by weight preferably 80 to 90 % by weight of such compositions.
As compositions have less and less water, PC may reach from 50 to 80 % by weight of the cosmetic. In a typical facial care application, PC would represent 40 to 70 % by weight, preferably 45 to 65 % by weight of the cosmetic composition.
Other components which can be used in the hydrophobic or fatty phase of a cosmetic composition are vegetable or animal oils, synthetic oils, fats and/or wax.
Among vegetable or animal oils which may be used include almond oil, avocado oil, olive oil, jujube oil, sesame oil, soybean oil, colza oil, squalene, lanolin and derivatives of any of the above.
